Pediatric Rule of Nines to Estimate Extent of Burns

What Is the Pediatric Rule of Nines?

Emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and paramedics are among the health care providers who make use of a system for quickly estimating the extent of burns. When the patient is a child, the pediatric rule of nines is frequently employed to give a rough estimate of the body surface area (BSA) that has been burned. Keep in mind that this system cannot be used to determine the severity of burns, rather only the extent of them. Note also that there is a rule of nines system for estimating the extent of burns in adult patients. But, the percentages are slightly different for the head and the legs for adults.

Looking at the Body in Sections

And, the head is relatively larger. This is why the measurement system we are reviewing here is sometimes referred to as the pediatric rule of nines or the rule of nine for children.

The body of an infant for the purpose of quickly estimating the extent of burns is as follows:

Don't be deceived! Get the definitive biblical answer now.
